i Critics Ask
New Coffee
Price
WASHINGTON Wl Congres
sional critics of soaring coffee
prices renewed their call for
stricter regulations Friday in the
wake oi' a government report
blaming the price hikes on spec
ulators and other ariniciai causes.
But coffee traders and producers
promptly denied It was their fault
that the nickel cup of Java, a
favorite pick-me-up lor millions of
Americans, is becoming
tha buffalo.
The Federal Trade Commission
issued a report Thursday saying
the boost in average retail coffee
prices - from 91 cents to $1.18 a
nnunri hptween December and
April-"Cannot be explained" in
terms of the laws of supply and
demand. ' ' ' '
it said one reason was specula
Hon by both U. S. and Brazilian
interests, but tnai price ms
stemmed from skimpy coffee
crop reports and from Brazil's ac
tion in raising ns iiiumimm
export price from 53 to 87 cents
pound July l. JJ
And while the price spiral added
less than a cent to the cost of
a cup of coffee In American res
taurants, it. said, the customer's
bill was upped from 5 to 0 cents
and In many cases to 15, 20 ano
even 35 cents.
But It had this encouraging
uniYt- with production up and
consumDtion dropping , off, pros
pects are for "lower coffee prices
In the future barring excessive
crop damage and provided supply
and demand are permitted .freely
to run their course."
Sen. Gillette (D.-Iowa). author
of a bill to put the new york
coffee and sugar exchange under
federal regulation, said In an in
terview Friday the FTC finding
"confirms the decision and Judg
tni.nl" of the Senate banking sub-
committee, which Investigated cof
lee prices early this year.
"A combination of speculative
Interests In Brazil and the United
States which manipulated the mar
ket was chiefly responsible for the
rise In coffee prices," Gillette
said. "My amendment to put the
coilee exenange unuer icon hi reg
ulation .would be a great help."

Brownell said Information was
needed on any possible smuggling
or secret manufacture of atomic
materials in this country.
He suggested offering the rev
wards not only to American citi
zens, but also to aliens living
abroad. As an extra bonus, in ad
dition to cash, the aliens also would
set asylum In this country for
themselves and their families 'Tor
permanent residence without re
gard to their inadmissibility under
any other laws- and regulations."
Such a provision would have the
efiect of setting aside for such
persons provisions of the. existing
Immigration statutes which bar
Communist from this country.
Brownell submitted the plan In
the form of proposed bills sent to
Vice President Nixon and House
Speaker Martin for introduction In
Congress. He said the proposal
had the backing of the National
